Anyone rebuild an '89 smog pump?

[mike cobine]

I went out today and the darn smog pump locks up on my truck. I figure they are pretty much the same across the GM board, so I was wondering if anyone has opened one up and fix it before.

Obviously, this isn't going to be a restoration item, and will proably be replaced by the cheapest junkyard special on Monday. I just thought I'd ask since I have all day Sunday to take it apart if anyone says they are pretty simple.

Mike I recommend getting a rebuilt one from Auto Zone, could be less money than what a junkyard wants for one and it will come with a guarantee.

Thanks, Jim. I guess I'll make a couple of phone calls today to check prices.

Mike,

It's faster to use Autozone.com and AdvanceAutoParts.com for prices. You then also get to see the parts listed yourself, without dealing with a counter person who got fired last week from McDonalds.

I don't know of anywhere to get the internal parts for these pumps. So, even if one wanted to do it and was able to do it, I don't think you'd be able to get the parts you need.
